A "basket" is chosen as a realistic example of how a typical person spends their money. Your personal "basket" is going to be different to mine.
If you don't think the typical basket is representative, then be honest and come up with your own basket and work out what your personal inflation is.
Some will have inflation far higher, others will have it far lower, that's the nature of a generalised number.
None of this means that the figures are "doctored"
